the Reluctant Beatle page 12 by ric gustafson
Brian Epstein ran a record department in his family's electrical goods store. One day, Bert Kaempfert walked into the store. He asked if Brian had a single by Tony Sheridan and the Beatles.
Epstein already knew who the Beatles were. Epstein always stocked a newspaper called the ' Mersey Beat'. The Beatles were always part of the articles.
At 27, Epstein had curly hair and an uncertain smile. He came from a Jewish family. He discovered a knack for selling records. He was also good at promoting records also. When Brian finally came to the Cavern, he fell in love with the black leather and the music. In the band room behind the stage, the group met Brian. The band liked him right away. They asked Brian to become their manager.
Brian's first task was to get the band under contract. But before that, Brian needed to get the band a record deal.
